Chapter 385 Shocked
"That's the praise you deserve."
Everything Su Yatou does is of great benefit to the country's development.
"Hahahahahaha, I'm going to write a letter to tell the emperor the good news."
The retired emperor put his hands behind his back and went back briskly to write the letter.
"Is it okay for Emperor Grandpa to do this?" Isn't it a bit too excited?
"Nothing." Ji Shiyan motioned for her to rest assured, "He's just very happy, he'll be fine after a while."
"Okay." Su Mu nodded and really believed him.
Then the next day, when they started digging sweet potatoes, the emperor would watch in the fields from morning to night, and sometimes even dig the sweet potatoes himself.
Su Mu looked at Ji Shiyan and said, "Didn't you say it would only take a while? It's already been a whole night."
Ji Shiyan blinked innocently.
Who knew he would be so excited this time, but it’s understandable.
The two men looked at the emperor running happily in the fields, and looked at each other in silence.
The emperor received the letter from the retired emperor and was very pleased.
During the morning court session, officials noticed that His Majesty was particularly happy today, so one official asked, "Your Majesty, is there any happy event today?"
Hearing someone asking about it, the emperor could finally show off.
"I heard yesterday that the future Princess Chen, the Princess of Qingshan County, planted a crop that yielded a thousand kilograms per mu."
The whole government and the public were shocked. Officials kowtowed one after another, shouting, "God bless our Huaxu Kingdom."
"Get up."
The officials stood up and praised the emperor, the sumu, or whoever they could find. The shock on their faces and the raised corners of their mouths showed their excitement at the moment.
If I wasn't in court, I would go out for a few laps.
After the court session, officials gathered in groups of three or four to discuss the matter.
There were also a few people who made an appointment to celebrate together.
Su Mu doesn’t know the situation of those people in the capital for the time being, but she is really happy too.
Because, after several days of digging, all the sweet potatoes in the fields were harvested. Not a single sweet potato was left out and they were picked up cleanly.
Looking at the warehouse piled high with sweet potatoes gives me a great sense of accomplishment.
"Mumu, what are you going to do with these sweet potatoes?"
"Sell it!" Su Mu said without thinking when he heard Ji Shiyan's words.
For her, it was impossible to keep the sweet potato here forever. There were still many sweet potatoes in the space, which were enough for them to eat.
She doesn't need to stock up, so selling is the best thing for her.
"Leave some for sweet potato chips, and the rest can be sold."
"Okay, Mumu, can you sell me some first?"
Su Mu tilted his head and looked at Ji Shiyan, "What's the relationship between us? Just go if you need me."
"No!" Ji Shiyan resolutely refused, and then quietly told Su Mu, "This batch was purchased by the emperor and distributed to the soldiers."
"The purchase was funded by my father."
"Is that so?" Su Mu nodded, "Then I'll give them a discount!"
"it is good."
The sweet potatoes that had just been harvested from the fields were distributed in this way.
Part of it was taken to the workshop to dry the sweet potatoes, part of it was distributed to the emperor, part of it was given as a snack for the students of Qingyun College, and the rest was all sold.
The next day, a large number of sweet potatoes with the fresh smell of soil appeared in the vegetable shop.
Those who came to buy things also guessed that the sweet potato might have just been dug out and sold.
Many people were picking and choosing when buying sweet potatoes.
They are very familiar with sweet potatoes, which have been on sale in the store for a long time, and they all know what they taste like.
A few people were buying sweet potatoes in a very normal manner, but one person's words broke the peace.
I heard the person who came to buy sweet potatoes chatting with the person next to him.
“Do you know the yield of this sweet potato?”
"Ah? I don't know, but it should be about the same as the yield of ordinary crops."
The person who asked the question at the beginning smiled meaningfully, "That's not true, the yield of this sweet potato is very high."
The people next to him disagreed, "How high can it be?"
"You'll be shocked if I tell you this." This person is still keeping the secret.
But the people who were listening to the excitement couldn't help but ask, "Tell me, what is the output?"
"Tell me, tell me." This person was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He originally wanted to tease them, but he didn't expect so many people to be curious.
"Let me tell you something. My brother's wife's great uncle's cousin is an official."
The onlookers wanted to interrupt him and ask him to get to the point, but they held back and listened to him patiently.
"He heard it with his own ears at the morning court session. That day, the emperor was very pleased and praised the county lord."
Everyone couldn't help but said, "Brother, please get to the point!"
"Isn't it here?" The man still felt a little aggrieved. He had to explain the background clearly first, otherwise, what if he was accused of talking nonsense?
"Our Majesty said it himself, this sweet potato yields nine stones per mu!" The man looked very proud, as if he had grown this thing himself.
"what!"
"Ahhh?!"
"How much? Nine stones!"
Everyone who heard the news was shocked.
"You mean nine stones? The nine stones that weigh more than a thousand pounds!"
"Did we hear it wrong? Are there really so many false ones?" Everyone suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.
"Why would I lie to you? There's no benefit in doing so." The man curled his lips.
"It is nine stones. You heard it right. How can what His Majesty said be false?"
"Yes, yes, yes, His Majesty said it himself, so it can't be false." The excitement of the crowd was beyond words.
Looking at the sweet potatoes placed in front of him, his eyes were different, and especially enthusiastic.
"Wow, this stuff has a really high yield."
"Yes, it is a treasure."
Everyone looked eager and bought more sweet potatoes.
"If I could grow an acre of sweet potatoes, I wouldn't even dare to think about it." I can't finish eating them, I really can't finish them.
"It will definitely work." One person was sure, "We will be able to grow this sweet potato sooner or later."
"It's just a matter of time, but it can definitely be planted."
"Yes Yes."
In an instant, everyone's enthusiasm for life increased a lot, and they must wait until the time to plant sweet potatoes.
I couldn't believe how happy they were at that time.
After buying the sweet potatoes, the people carried them home and told their families the good news.
For a time, the news of sweet potato production spread throughout the capital.
People were shocked by the yield of sweet potatoes, and then what followed was the enthusiasm for life. People who had no enthusiasm for life and only lived numbly were like being injected with a shot of adrenaline.
Everyone has the same idea: if they live a good life now, they will definitely be able to wait until the day when they can plant sweet potatoes.
Then, they will be able to eat their fill and won’t suffer from hunger.
Life seemed to have hope from then on.
When people walk on the street, they will be surprised to find that people's mental outlook has begun to change and become more energetic.
